    Alrighties......

    Myself and Nasty are building a Bucket up ready to take on this new season. Skunk, you've finally convinced me !!

    Now, can anyone tell me about the Loncin (GL145 copy) engine that you can get for $500 c/w carb & ignition ?

    Excellent, thanks Pumba.
    Do you know anything about them in bucketing, reliability wise etc?

    It's got 11kW -- 15hp -- is that competitive? I suppose a CG125 mill doesn't make much more than 10hp, but you guys work them a lot, don't you?

    You should run a shitter for the first season, you might find that half the fun of bucket racing is working on the bucket. To me, putting a brand new engine in sorta defeats the purpose.

    Something like this would be ideal me thinks.

    Fair comment, Slingshot.
    Just that, I've already bought a "rolling chassis" tonight

    I've done buckets before, about 10 years ago and built 4 bikes up, including a screaming CB125T and did a single-shock GP-100.
    So, thought I'd do something different, with Nasty working on the project too.
    To me, having a brand new engine means a season of reliability.
    However, we may still go with something different.

    I'm fairly confident we can get something ready to race within a month or so


    oh BTW thanks, quallman1234. Certainly will !!

    Awesome...what's the frame? Each to their own...I'm just stoked that more and more people are getting the itch

    You should be able to get running in a month...me and the Skunkworks crew got my GP100 motor into the RZ50 frame within about 10 hours.

    Got an RGV-150 rolling chassis, should be fairly adaptable and is single-shock already which is a big bonus

    of course you are ... and you will cope too ....

    Grub will be a very good asset to the team .. playing a similar role to Bridgy and will look cute in the tight skirts and skimpy top with the Brolly

    Now just hang on a minute ... I REFUSE to be seen out in some tacky miniskirt. One does have standards you know.

    If I must be there, it will be in a nice 3/4 length number with pearls and gloves to the elbow. Oh and an Oriton purse for the half-time oranges (did I get that right?)
